Well, it turns out that my Warhammer account is now eligible for the 10-day re-trial. I still have dreams about slaughtering elves with my mighty Chosen (don't ask), and I still pine away for it in the wee hours of the morning.

The only problem is that, like Bootae mentioned, Close Quarters is still in the game.

And yes, this is an issue.

Close Quarters is a tactic which greatly increases a caster's damage if they're close to you (within 45 feet), without which bomb groups wouldn't be nearly as effective. The predominant strategy would have to change from "guard a Bright Wizard and send him in to spam Scorched Earth. Over. And over. And over. And over. And of course this strategy is utilized by Destruction as well, for the Sorcerer mirror abilities.

No, I don't want to have to run away from Bright Wizards. Why should I be scared of a squishy caster in melee range? As long as this tactic is still in-game, the problem will not go away.

I will probably end up taking the free re-trial and giving it a shot. I doubt my guild is still kicking. Might have to troll the Iron Rock forums and see if anyone's recruiting so I can actually get in on some group RVR.
